Of course the most 'free gov. money' is from the under 18 children for medical treatment and foster care system. Keep pushing out those babies! they're worth millions in state and federal $$$$$$$

Then they can toss the toothless, undereducated 18+ to the private for profit prisons. & make 45k a year each, off of them.
